MORE ABOUT DINNER

Since you asked Mim - here are some details about the evening. There were 260 BC Survivors there. I was surprised to see one of the "regulars" from my sewing club - we did not know we had this in common. All the other dinners we went to had entertainment such as an inspirational/comedy speaker, group or solist music, slide shows, etc. This time there was no such thing. The head of the Community Cancer Center spoke for about 10 minutes about updates going on at the Center, then said we were our own entertainment for the evening in just getting to know each other. Kind of a "letdown".

The dinner itself was interesting. There were four food stations: mashed potato bar, mini salad station, carving station, and mini dessert station. We had to stand in line about 10-15 minutes at each station, go sit and eat items from each station one at a time, then go back in line at another station. It seemed very disorganized and complicated and everyone was rather puzzled about it. We're not used to eating things separately.

The layout of the country club was not really conducive for this large a group. We were seated in three rooms with large doors and windows connecting them. We had two violinists playing in our room, another room had a pianist, and the middle room had the food. I'm not really "complaining" just letting you know how the evening went. I really do appreciate the efforts they went to in providing an evening out for us. As always, they took a picture of us and I've included mine.
